Chronic constipation is a common digestive disorder characterized by infrequent bowel movements, difficulty passing stools, or a feeling of incomplete bowel evacuation lasting for several weeks or longer. While occasional constipation is common, persistent constipation can significantly affect daily life and may indicate an underlying gastrointestinal condition. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help relieve symptoms and improve digestive health.
Our experienced gastroenterologists provide comprehensive evaluation, advanced diagnostic services, and personalized treatment plans to identify the root cause of chronic constipation and restore healthy bowel function.
Chronic constipation is generally defined as having fewer than three bowel movements per week or experiencing difficult, painful, or incomplete bowel movements for an extended period. It may result from dietary habits, lifestyle factors, medications, or underlying medical conditions.
